Stay in the light! STAY IN THE LIGHT!!!
I am the last person you would want to be sitting next to at a horror movie. Especially if it’s in the big screen.
If you are paying for my movie ticket, you are wasting your money. 80% of the time I don’t watch the movie because I’m too scared to avert my eyes away from my bag of popcorn. When I’m finished with the popcorn I then proceed to claw at your clothing or grab at your hand or get touchy-feely like that in order to calm myself down and reassure myself that this is just a movie and that this can never happen to me in real life.
I’m also quite fond of letting out small shrieks all throughout the movie, even during the non-scary parts. How should I know if the ghost is already there? I’m not looking at the screen. 
If the sounds are scary, or potentially scary, I shriek. I scream. I claw.
Today, I saw Darkness Falls with my mom and my sister. The title sounds a lot like a scary video game, and when my sister told me it involved an evil “tooth fairy” who is out to get the children of Darkness Falls when they lose their last tooth, I was very interested to see it.
Unfortunately, the movie was a big let-down. It was chock-full of every single horror movie cliche I could think of. Scary ghost lady out for revenge. Scared little children. Creepy drawings done by scared little children. Unearthly sounds, whispers, and moans. Everyone in town thinks the leading man is lying about ghost lady. Gruesome dead bodies. Just when you think the ghost lady is dead, she’s not. Everybody dies except for the leading man, the leading woman, and the leading woman’s brother. There wasn’t even a plot. Just a lot of people running around from a very pissed-off ghost lady.
It scared the shit out of me. While I was in the movie theater, anyway.

Ah am not too hot for horrors too, am more of a comedy/action sorta person. I want to watch ‘Finding Nemo’.
/me whines to everyone who will listen.
hi there! Cute page =) Anyway, I’m not much of a Horror movie fan myself. Like you, I shriek like crazy. I prefer comedies, hehe Take care now…
heh, you wouldn’t want to take me to a horror movie either. The last time I went, I was hiding my head under al’s arms. ^_^ I prefer romantic comedies and cute stuff. ^_^ Can’t wait to see Finding Nemo!! Now that’s my kind of movie. hehe
Hey, thanks for the laugh! If I’m watching a scary movie at home, I tend to sit with a pillow propped up on my lap so I can sink behind it at all the prime moments. (It’s also good if I start doing something real embarrassing like crying…..)
The last time that I watched a horror film was last year, Resident Evil. After that, it took me two weeks before sleeping back in my own room. I wanted to hit my friend who dragged me to watch that idiotic and senseless movie. Well, I was more idiotic because I told her I was going to pay for the movie ticket for any movie that she wanted to watch. Lolai (my friend) chose that horror movie. Eto naman akong tanga, feeling matapang, sumunod naman…Haaaay, and just like you I kept on clawing at her clothes. It’s surprising how SHE went out of the theatre with all her clothes intact.
Hehe, I prefer watching horror movies at home. Considering that I’m not really watching it anyway, at least it won’t be a waste of money.
Hehe, I remember the time I watched Ringu with my friends after school. There were very few people in the theater and the three of us were clutching onto each other and screaming even though there really wasn’t anything to be scared of.
